VY-the, construction shown* there yare* six such Solder Cutters and Feeders, of whichthe following is a specification and which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, forming a part thereof.

The invention relates to devices for cutting solder into suitable lengths for use and delivering the same to the work to which it Y is to be applied.

The objects of the invention are to provide a simple yet efficient device of this character, and an embodiment of it isillustrated inthe accompanying drawings, in which- Y Figure 1 is a front elevation;
